you could do worse than join your local chapter of the Royal Photographic Society - they do have overseas groups. They have a distinctions programme which involves you submitting sets of photographs to try and earn the distinction. During workshops you get excellent critiques from the distinctions panel, with feedback on what they think you need to do to advance towards the distinction. It's very useful feedback and very well delivered, but you have to put it in context. For example, the last time I went I showed documentary / travel photos in a session that was primarily intended for pictorial 'art' photography, and the evaluation criteria are not really the same. http://www.rps.org/distinctions_workshops > I'd also like a 645D. > They can't help there. They're mostly old men with Leicas.
